Whether it happens in 2019, 2020, or beyond, cloud-based printing will be eventually be the de facto printing solution for all serious businesses. Cloud-based technologies for printing have been in the news lately as companies like Xerox announce innovations such as better security, mobile printing, and intelligent capture.

These tax deductions for businesses can be a big boon for companies looking to upgrade systems, such as switching from a traditional networked printer environment to cloud-based printing.

More connected devices enter the workplace, and this increases the number of potential entry points for hackers. Printers and other connected devices are increasingly becoming hacker targets as they search for weak points within a network.

College and university campuses are often large, with several different buildings, departments, and faculties all working under the larger umbrella of the institution. With the many activities that occur on a campus throughout a day, week, or school year, there is a lot of printing that needs to be done.

However, a printer needs to be more than a printer these days. In addition to paper documents, staff and faculty must manage digital documents, workflows, and more. All of this can become very time-consuming and, as these tasks add up, it means less time for other activities and reduced productivity.

Workflows at law offices aren’t always simple, and they rarely follow a predictable path. Both lawyers and their paralegal and clerical support have to be able to access clear, concise data, and navigate complex client needs in order to generate value for their clients.

Under these conditions, establishing efficient workflows is challenging work. In order to properly advise clients and represent their interests in legal cases, legal firms need to adhere to strict regulations while responding to the demands of their environment.

In the end, lawyers often end up accruing a time-debt of non-billable hours that account for a broad range of high-volume, low-impact administrative work. This work can be anything from searching for a particular document to waiting for an approval or even hiring new employees.

Waste is a major detriment to quality of life worldwide. The World Bank estimates that consumers will generate 2.2 billion tons of waste per year by 2025. 

But waste isn’t only a consumer problem. Waste is a manufacturer problem. It is a distributor problem. Waste is a problem for everyone, and organizations across the world are beginning to look for ways to reduce waste throughout the product lifecycle. 

Conventionally-minded business analysts have long believed that companies have no commercial incentive to lengthen the life cycles of products because this would reduce their revenues, but this isn’t true. Changing cultural attitudes towards sustainability are turning sustainable business practices into opportunities to generate value. These benefits are not unique to big-name manufacturers like Lego, who has promised to exclusively use sustainable materials by 2030. It can be a major value driver for any business, in any industry.
